The Federal Work-Study program offers students the opportunity to work part-time to help cover college expenses. Federal work-study is awarded to students who demonstrate financial need and meet certain eligibility requirements. Work-study wages are paid directly to the student as they are earned, not to the University’s Bursar’s Office. Federal Work-Study students are paid $7.75 per hour and paid on a monthly basis.
If you are interested in checking your eligibility, please fill out the Federal Work-Study Eligibility Request Form.
